Five other Carolina players scored in double figures &#8211; Marcus Paige and Justin Jackson tallied 14 each while Isaiah Hicks added 13 and Joel Berry and Nate Britt chipped in 11 each.<\/p>\n<p>A fastbreak Britt to Hicks layup gave Carolina its first double-digit lead at 15-4 eight minutes in and the lead never got down to single digits again.<\/p>\n<p>A weaving drive by Paige ended in a layup to give the Heels a 24-8 lead with 9:17 left in the first half. A three by freshman Luke Maye from the top of the key gave the Heels a 41-23 lead. A Maye put back at the buzzer gave Carolina its largest lead of the half at 47-28.<\/p>\n<p>UNC-G got hot over the first nine minutes of the second half to cut the margin to 11 at 62-51. It never got closer. After Berry popped in an open three from the top of the key to make it 76-56 with 6:30 to play, the rout was back on.<\/p>\n<p>A pair of threes by Britt late gave the Heels a 31-point lead at 92-61 but the subs couldn&#8217;t get to the century mark as Carolina settled for 96 points. It&#8217;s the ninth straight game that UNC has scored more than 80 points.<\/p>\n<p>For a box score and more on the game, <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cb3media.com\/heelprints\" target=\"_blank\">please click here<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a game that never really seemed in doubt, North Carolina went on a 34-12 run over the last 10 minutes to defeat UNC-Greensboro 96-63&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[79,80],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-113728","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-featured-stories","category-north-carolina-tar-heels","wpcat-79-id","wpcat-80-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/capitalsportsnc.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/113728","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/capitalsportsnc.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/capitalsportsnc.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capitalsportsnc.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capitalsportsnc.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=113728"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/capitalsportsnc.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/113728\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":113730,"href":"https:\/\/capitalsportsnc.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/113728\/revisions\/113730"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/capitalsportsnc.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=113728"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capitalsportsnc.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=113728"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capitalsportsnc.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=113728"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
